DR. HOGARTH AND FAMILY RELAX IN RECEPTION ROOM

Tteiv £%a,

The thirtieth year of Gulf Park
began a new era in the school's his-
tory. A new president, Dr. Charles
P. Hogarth, was inaugurated at the
opening exercises on Wednesday
evening, September 13, in the Audi-
torium.

Mr. Harold R. Barber, Chairman
of the Board, gave an address of ap-
preciation to the second president
of Gulf Park, and formally present-
ed to him the official College seal.

After Dr. Hogarth had made a
brief response, he then introduced
Miss Lewis who sang Come Again,
by Dowland, and A Heart That's
Free, by Robyn.

Dr. Hogarth introduced to the
student body the ministers from the
coast who were present, the mem-
bers of the board, and the new per-
sonnel.

Dr. Cox, the first president of
Gulf Park College, responded with
a short review of the past history of
Gulf Park. Mrs. Cox also spoke, as
retiring Dean of Residence, and ex-
pressed her devotion to the College
and to all Gulf Park girls.

Dr. Hogarth continued with a
short, meaningful address as the
newly inaugurated president. The
exercises were brought to a close
by the singing of America the Beau-
tiful, after which Father O'Malley of
St. Thomas Catholic Church, Long
Beach, gave the benediction.

On the following evening, Thurs-
day, September 14, a formal recep-
tion honoring new personnel and
new students was held in the Re-
ception Room at Hardy Hall. Fol-
lowing the reception, the Notre
Dame High School Orchestra fur-
nished music for dancing in the audi-
torium. Guests at the dance were
Gulf Coast Military Academy ca-
dets and other young men from
along the coast.

TUca *Dea*t

Dean Rine has replaced Mrs.
Featherstone as Dean of Students.
Mrs. Featherstone resigned because
of illness. Mrs. Rine has been assist-
ant Dean of Students for the past
several years, as well as filling the
position of Head Hostess in Hardy
Hall. Those who know Dean Rine
as "Mama" Rine on the second floor
of Hardy Hall know there is no
question of her ability to fill her
new position on the campus. Her
popularity with the girls while she
was in her second floor office has
followed her right downstairs to her
office in the Reception Room. "Her"
Seniors miss her on their halls, but
realize that she is playing an even
bigger part at Gulf Park.

LIFE MAGAZINE FEATURES
GULF PARK COLLEGE

The October 16 issue of LIFE
Magazine published five pages of
pictures in color of Gulf Park Col-
lege. This was the result of the
work that was done for a period of
one week by photographer, Phillipe
Halsman and writer, George Harris
of the LIFE Magazine staff. The
October 16 issue of LIFE Magazine
was a special issue on Education. It
was somewhat critical of many
phases of education but if referred
to Gulf Park as "one of the good
things that exist in United States
education". It referred to Gulf Park
as "a junior college that teaches girls
to be feminine rather than feminist".

The November 6 issue of LIFE
Magazine published a picture of the
entire Gulf Park student body read-
ing copies of the October 16 issue
of LIFE Magazine. The picture was
accompanied by a part of the letter
written to LIFE by TAMMY
HOWL Editor-in-Chief, Ann Yates.
LIFE Magazine did not publish the
part of the letter which stated that,
in addition to the emphasis made by
the story of Gulf Park in the Oc-
tober 16 issue, Gulf Park empha-
sizes scholastic achievement.

G. P. C. DPEN HOUSE

Saturday night, October 30, the
new students of Gulf Park held an
informal open house.

Invitations were sent to young
men from Gulfport, Long Beach
and Keesler Field. As the boys en-
tered the Auditorium, they were
greeted by President and Mrs. Ho-
garth in the receiving line and then
werfe introduced to their partners
for the evening. A local orchestra
was provided for dancing. Punch
and cookies were served on the front
lawn by the Wishing Well Foun-
tain.

G. C M. A. DPEN HDUSE

The cadets at Gulf Coast Military
Academy entertained on Saturday
evening, October 14, with an in-
formal open house. Many High
School girls and Juniors attended.
Those who went reported a most en-
joyable evening of dancing. This was
the first of many G.C.M.A. dances
and parties that will be held through-
out the year. There will be other
evenings at the Academy for the
Gulf Park girls to look forward to.

CHURCH HOSPITALITY

The friendliness and hospitality of
the various Gulfport churches has
once again been expressed through
the annual church teas.

On Sunday, September thirtieth,
the Episcopal, Roman Catholic,
Christian, Lutheran, and Methodist
teas were held. The Presbyterian tea
was given on October second, and
the Baptist on October sixteenth.

On these three days the Gulf Park
driveway was lined with cars driven
to the college by church members.
These cars took the girls to the dif-
ferent teas which were given either
in church social rooms or in homes
of church members. Refreshments
were served and the girls became
acquainted with boys from Gulf
Coast Military Academy and local
members of the churches.

This act of welcoming Gulf Park
students into the Gulfport churches
is deeply appreciated and enjoyed
by each girl and looked forward to
for the next year.

REPRESENTATIVE

CDNVENTIDN

Representatives of Gulf Park Col-
lege arrived Monday to visit at the
college and get acquainted with the
faculty and students. The five repre-
sentatives stayed at Huckleberry
Hill. They were entertained after
dinner on October 3, at a dessert
party.

Each representative met with the
girls from her area of the United
States for a renewal of acquaintance.
Mrs. Laughlin, of Sea Island, Geor-
gia, met in the Reception Room with
the students from the southeastern
area; Mrs. Harris, Blackwater, Mo.,
and Miss James, Kansas City, Mo.,
met in the Junior sunparlor with
students from the northwestern part
of the United States; Miss Haile,
Danville, Va., in the Art Studio with
students from the southwest; and
Mrs. Asper, Nashville, Tennessee,
in the Senior smoker with students
from the northeast.

On October 4, coffee was served
after dinner in the Reception Room
of Hardy Hall for a meeting of the
representatives with the faculty. Mrs.
Hogarth, Dr. Hogarth's mother,
poured coffee.

DELTA ALPHA FOREST

CLUB SIGMA PSI

DELTA CHI SNOW LAND

On Tuesday evening, October 17.
the rushees entered the Delta Alpha
forest in the Y-Hut. As they were
seating themselves on imaginary
logs, stumps, and toadstools, they
heard Donna Brown, the Narrator,
telling them that it was in this forest
that a modern "Little Red Riding
Hood" was going through her trib-
ulations. The curtain opened and
in skipped Red Riding Hood, Jean
Weidmann, who felt so good that
she danced.

While she relaxed by drinking a
coke, two wolves, Marilyn Smith
and Zeta Lundell, appeared and in-
quired whether Red Riding Hood
had joined one of the forest's soror-
ities or not. Each wolf wanted the
little girl to join his girl's sorority,
which put "Red Riding Hood" in
a predicament. So blue did she get
pondering over what to do, that
her cape and hood turned a dull
blue. Of course, Grandmother, Mary
Moughon, would have the answer;
therefore, Red Riding Hood picked
up her basket filled with Hadacol,
Coco-Cola, and vitamin pills and
made her way to Grandmother's
house.

Ann Haskins, the maid, explained
to Red Riding Hood about Grand-
mother's psychological illness. After
Red had escaped from being eaten
by Grandmother by repeating "Del-
ta Alpha", Grandmother told her
how she reformed and became a
Delta Alpha member. Then Eliza-
beth Darst danced right into Grand-
mother's memories. Margaret Brig-
nac and La Lou Driver gave their
rendition of Oh Say Delta Alpha.
More dance entertainment came
when Edna Maybin Hewes tapped
into the show. Then came the pic-
ture that Grandmother never could
forget — "The Delta Alpha Girl,"
Roser.iary Johnson. All the people
in the forest sang the sorority song,
Delta Alpha Girl. Red Riding Hood
now knew that it was Delta Alpha
for her. The entire cast then sang
Delta Alpha, Delta Alpha as the
closing number.

Party cakes and cokes were served
as refreshments. Miniature Coke
bottles tied with yellow ribbons
bearing the sorority name were given
to the rushees as favors.

The Y-Hut was turned into a
night club on the evening of October
15, when Sigma Psi Iota sorority en-
tertained their rushees. The setting
for the show was beautiful Club
Sigma Psi back in the twenties.

Narrator, Jody Hickman, opened
the show with an introduction of the
Master of Ceremony, Laura Lee
Planche. The story of how the Shiek,
Cynthia Graser, was searching for
"It" was revealed, and the Sheik
himself appeared. A singer, Lynn
Smythe, was the first to try to im-
press him with her rendition of
Charlie, My Boy. The dancers, Kitty
Akard and Mary Margaret Culliney,
then tried their luck doing that cur-
rent dance rage, The Charleston. An
Arabian beauty, Meme Frenkle, then
took the spotlight with an excellent
rendition of her own native dance.
The "Lady in Red," Liz Emerson,
left everyone breathless with the
singing of Toot Toot Tootsie, Good-
bye. After Patsy Planche, "The
Little Girl," gave her opinion on
"It," Jinx Paterson and Patsy Mc-
Millin sang Prune Song. Rosalie Me-
luney accompanied them on the uke.
The climax of the show was reached
with the discovery of "It," Jane Rob-
inson, who looked beautiful in a
silver sequined dress that was,
naturally, of the twenties' style. The
entire cast then joined in the sing-
ing of Sigma Psi songs.

The charming flapper cigarette
girls, Helen Dally and Cynthia
Scott, assisted in serving the deli-
cious refreshments of sherbert and
ginger ale, cookies and candy. Min-
iature beer bottle salt shakers with
the Greek sorority letters on them
were given as favors.

COSTUMES

The "Twenties" costumes seen in
the picture of the Sigma Psi skit
are not merely copies or thrown to-
gether outfits; most of the flappers
are wearing originals! These dresses
with the longer waistlines and
shorter hemlines came to entertain-
ers in Club Sigma Psi directly from
the days of the "Charleston" and
"It." Some of the mothers of these
Gulf Park girls went through attics
and old trunks and came out with
the dresses they wore to their Senior
Prom or the going-away suits they
wore to Niagara.

"The Merry Land of Snow Folk"
was the theme used by the Delta
Chi's in their annual rush party
given in the Y-Hut on October 16.

Rushees were greeted at the Hut
door by a huge snowman adorned
in cape and hat. Upon entering the
Hut, all were given cigarettes
by Fran Farrell and Anita Cofer.

Before a black curtain, decorated
with glistening snowflakes, Narra-
tor Isabelle Charnock proceeded to
relate why she, as a young girl, de-
cided to join Delta Chi.

Witty Garth portrayed Isabelle in
her youth as the rushee who, in a
dream, visited "Snowland." As
Witty entered the Hut, she noticed
two snowballs and sat down to rest
on one. However, the snowballs
were proved to be human, and
quickly explained to Witty where
she was. They led her to meet their
parents, a snowman and snow-
woman. While they were talking,
Jack Frost appeared from behind
the closed curtain and invited Wittv
to come into the castle and meet the
"Queen of Snowland" and her court.

The curtain then opened, reveal-
ing to the audience a throne room
of glistening white, in which were
the Queen and court, who insisted
that Witty sit with them and meet
the rest of the Delta Chis. This was
accomplished, and the first of a se-
ries of entertainment began when
two polar bears entered, dancing.
Then a penquin ran in, and in an
excited voice proclaimed that two
insane raindrops had gotten loose
and were on their way to the snow
castle. Soon the raindrops appeared
and gave their version of Way Down
Yonder Where the Devil Rules.
Reindeer guards removed the rain-
drops forcefully from the stage, and
the Queen, Anne Singer, summoned
six dancers who performed, accom-
panied by flutist, Judy Thompson.
The skit closed with the singing of
For It's You Delta Chi.

While coconut covered cakes and
lime sherbert punch were then served
to the rushees, the Delta Chi fa-
vors, stuffed snowwomen embossed
with the letters of Delta Chi, were
presented.

DELTA ALPHA SIGMA

DELTA CHI SIGMA

SHIP AHGY

Ship Ahoy, Yes, the entire stu-
dent body went "nautical" on Mon-
day, September 18, when an all day
trip was made to Ship Island. Sail-
or caps and jeans were rumaged
from drawers and put into very ac-
tive use. It all began with an hour's
voyage out into the Gulf on two
excursion boats. On reaching the is-
land itself, our eager seamen dashed
to the luxurious white sand beach
with its salty rolling waves. When
lunch time came, all were more than
ready for the fried chicken picnic.

Naturally a short siesta seemed
in order then, but some more active
ones just could not resist explor-
ing the historic old Spanish Fort
Massachusetts. Soon the damp dun-
geons made the bright sunlight out-
side too inviting and another swim-
ming-sunning session was begun.
But, as they say, all good things must
come to an end, and so it was with
our day at Ship Island. Looking
back, we can count up our gains as
being: one day full of fun, a real
swim in the Gulf, and a suntan to
write home about.

FIRE, FDDD AND FUN

At 8:30 a.m., on September 25,
chartered busses arrived in front of
Hardy Hall to take the entire stu-
dent body and faculty members to
Huckleberry Hill for the day.

Bridge games began on arriving.
The more energetic girls went boat-
ing on the bayou or played volley
ball.

The lunch bell rang at 12:00; we
were served a delicious outdoor
meal consisting of hamburgers, bak-
ed beans, salad, cookies, and ice
cream.

Later in the day there were inter-
class volley ball games, followed by
a game between the Faculty and
Seniors. Their game had just got
under way when it was interrupted
by screams for help — the woods
were on fire! With the girls' cooper-
ation, the fire was under control in
a few minutes with little damage
and no casualties.

After the game was finished, the
Seniors being the victors, we return-
ed to school with happy hearts and
high hopes of visiting Huck again.

SHDW TIME AT G. P. C.

Sing Song, May Day — all these
activities take talent. But how does
the school find out who can do what,
when there are so many new faces
on the campus? Well, what Gulf
Park does is to hold a Talent Night,
such as it did on Saturday, Septem-
ber 23. Each class solicited its own
contestants and worked up skits;
then on the crucial night all the ef-
forts were melded together into one
terrific show. We are proud to say
that this year's was one of the mosc
successful Talent Nights that G.P.C.
has ever had; so it looks as if this
is going to be a very "talent-ful"
year!

CDAST RIDE

On September 17, at 2:30 p.m.,
cars began arriving to take Gulf
Park students and faculty members
on a tour of the coast. Many scenic
and historic places between Gulfport
and Biloxi were pointed out to the
girls.

During the afternoon, a tea was
given by Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence
Taylor at The Town House. The
first Sunday at Gulf Park was thus
very enjoyable for everyone.

MISS LEWIS' WEDS

Miss Lewis, voice teacher at Gulf
Park and daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Richard Henry Lewis of Greens-
boro, North Carolina, was married
on September 24, at 8:30 p.m., in
the chapel at Keesler Field to Chap-
lain Kalman L. Levitan, of the Air
Force Chaplain's Corps, son of Mr.
and Mrs. Abraham Levitan of Mi-
ami, Florida. Rabbi Solomon Cher-
nick of Mobile, Alabama, conducted
the ceremony.

The bridal couple was attended
by Miss Dacia Lewis of Greensboro
and Ashville, North Carolina, sister
of the bride, and Chaplain Joseph C.
Sidec, Air Force. Music was furnish-
ed by Miss MacDonough, piano
teacher at Gulf Park, and Mrs.
Robert W. Rudolph of Stonebaro,
Pennsylvania, sister of the bride.
The chapel was decorated in tradi-
tional green and white.

The bride wore a white velveteen
dress of afternoon length, designed
with cap sleeves. The low neckline
was embroidered in seed pearls and
pastel sequins, as were the short
mitts of velveteen. Miss Lewis car-
ried a bouquet of fleurs d'amour
and tuberoses.

BANQUETS

On Wednesday night, September
27, the Gulf Park faculty was hon-
ored at the first banquet of the year.
Dr. and Mrs. Hogarth, followed by
Mr. and Mrs. Cooke, led the faculty
members into the Dining Hall. Af-
ter the delicious main course, Dr.
Hogarth offered a toast from the
students to the faculty, expressing
their affection and their desire to
co-operate.

The Senior Class was honored at
a formal banquet in the school din-
ing room on the evening of October
11. The class officers with Dr. and
Mrs. Hogarth, followed by the re-
mainder of the class, formed the
line into the dining room. During
the course of the dinner, Dr. Ho-
garth introduced Miss Picking, who
gave a toast to the class. Miss Pick-
ing has been the Senior Sponsor for
the last three years. The lovely ban-
quet came to a close with the singing
of the Gulf Park Alma Mater.

CDAST CLUfi PICNIC

On Monday, October 9, the Coast
Club of Gulf Park had its annual pic-
nic at Sunkist Lodge. Girls from the
boarding department were invited
as guests of the day students from
along the coast. The girls enjoyed
recreation such as playing badminton
and hiking in the beautiful woods
surrounding Sunkist. At noon a de-
licious picnic lunch was served.

Dr. Hogarth, Nancy Eva, Dean
Hatcher, the Coast Club sponsor,
Mr. Cooke, and Mrs. Throgmorton
were guests of the students in the
club. Those members who attended
were: Claire Bryant, Marion Christ,
Dorothy Clower, Margalo Dambo-
rino, Je'Nell Danielson, Frances
Hendrick, and Alma Murden.

Frances Bosserdet, Peggy Dierks,
Mary Jane Johnson, Janet King,
Roslie Meluney, Sherry Mitchell,
Jane Richard, Cecelia Samaha, Sally
Shultz, Lynn Smythe, Lois Stitt,
Phyllis Williams, and Judy Young-
meyer.

LETTERS TD THE STUDENTS Attention High School!

LETTERS TD THE EDITORS

Dear Students,

Have you joined the peroxide
gang yet? Remember, that can lead
to peroxidalism, a condition far more
dangerous than alcoholism. For de-
tails on how to become a member,
consult Brooksie Carnes, Patty Mc-
Millian, or Rosemary Johnson.
Speaking of the big brown bottle,
(peroxide to all you innocents),
Minnie would like to pose a ques-
tion, Delores Gradoo, is orange the
voguish look for hair these days?

Oho, Pat Walker and Harriet Ep-
pes, is there any truth in the rumor
that Harriet and Dil are Pinned?
Really, Harriet, this could cause un-
told jealously among the student
body. And Pat, what is all this about
the "Ideal Girl?" I fear many friend-
ships are being broken up due to
the increase in head size by those
who have been elected ideals. ,

Dear Housemothers,

If in doubt — Dierks and Shultz
did it — who else? And while speak-
ing of housemothers, Minnie would
like to ask — how can a person be
asleep and prowl at the same time?
For an answer, consult Mary Moug-
hon.

Dear Kitty, Anita, Rosie, and Jane,
A question about accoustics. How
is it that noise proven to originate
on Junior Hall always ends up com-
ing from rooms 3 and 5 SENIOR
HALL? Only Mrs. Roter has the
answer. By the way, Rosie, that was
a marvelous toast you gave at the
Senior Banquet. The only trouble —
it was way too long.

How old is "The Body?" After
seven years of dancing, eight years
of radio, seven years of art, and
three or four years of television, she
must be at least twenty-five. Isn't
that rather aged for a High School
Student?

Question of the Month:

Who is Delores Gradoo? She is
enrolled in every class on campus
including Senior English and rid-
ing. Delores, it is rumored, also, had
a marvelous time in New Orleans
one Monday. Just what did you do,
Gradoo?

Kitty, Grace, and Jinx,

You seem to think Mobile, Ath-
ens, and New Orleans have a fatal
attraction. Question — what do these
places have that Gulf port hasn't?

Dear Seniors,

"Party madly" will be the pass
word after Christmas if Helen Dally
and Cynthia Scott return weighed
down by a round band bearing a
diamond — engagement ring to the
less informed. Along this line — Bou-
let, whose blue convertible has been
slinking around the campus lately?

News of the month:

What is this about M. J. Johnson's
newest athletic accomplishment?
Minnie hears she "pole-vaulted" in-
to the Senior Smoker one day.

Dear Editor,

After reading the October six-
teenth issue of Life Magazine, the
members of Tent Six have decided
that your school is the area we would
like most to be restricted to.

The series of Gulf Park By-the-Sea
now decks the walls above each
bunk in our tent.

We would appreciate an issue of
the paper and any correspondence
from the members of your school.
Sincerely,
(Signatures of Seven)
Tent Six

Camp Stewart, Georgia

Dear Editor,

Gulf Park College has completely
taken us!

Since one of us has a sister at
Gulf Park, we have heard much
about the college, but not until your
most charming article in LIFE
MAGAZINE did we see how lovely
your school and the girls are.

The article alone was not enough.
From the moment our eyes first fell
on the pictures we knew that we
must see this for ourselves. Soon we
visited the college with its magnolia
blossoms, cape jasmine, and most
charming Southern belles and were
definitely fascinated by it.

Gulf Park's beauty was not its
only outstanding feature. The hos-
pitality of the school and the girls
astounded us. When we drove up
in front of the school the girls waved
to us from the smoker windows and
later we had a short but nice visit in
the Senior smoker.

We are writing this letter to let the
public know that what they have
seen in LIFE MAGAZINE is not a
mere fairy tale but a dream come
true. This visit of ours was most
worthwhile for we found the home
of true charm and beauty which is
Gulf Park, By-the-Sea. We are anx-
iously awaiting our next leave so

Gulf Par\ Reveals Talent

European Scrapboot

At twelve o'clock on July 12, our
group of thirty sailed from New
York along with fifteen hundred
passengers on the N.I.V., Georgia,
bound for Liverpool.

We received a program of events
each morning on what was going to
take place. I never shall forget the
first day at sea, reading that there
would be horse races at five. I did
not want to miss that — imagine
thorough-breds racing around the
deck! It was a terrible dissappoint-
ment to find out that the game was
played with wooden horses.

Before dinner I decided to take a
quick shower to remove the salt
spray, and did I receive a shock
when I stepped into the shower —
salt water!

London was our first stop where
we not only saw many places of in-
terest but also met a few English
celebrities. I felt like a queen in a
Rolls Royce on the way to have a
"spot of tea" with an English pro-
ducer and his wife whom a few of
us had met the night before at the
Embassy Club.

The name of their house was the
"Little Georgian", and was the
quaintest little house I had
ever seen. It was actually a "doll
house" nestled in a bed of violets
and lilacs. The "doll house" was
just as charming as the numerous
castles and palaces I saw throughout
Europe.

When we arrived at Brussels,
crowds of people covered the streets
yelling pro and con about King Leo-
pold. This revolution against the
king and the rioting did not alarm
me half so much as the discovery
that a bath cost sixty cents in Amer-
ican money and that the shrimp we
had for dinner was really snails.

Of all the European countries I
visited, Switzerland was my favor-
ite. The snow covered Alps and ice
blue lakes are something you always
hear about but can hardly believe
when you really see them. One day
while in Switzerland, five of us de-
cided to rent bicycles for the day.
We cycled to a nearby village where
we stopped to get something to

drink. After a most confusing con-
versation with a man who spoke only
German, we found ourselves, bike
and all, on a railway cart ascending
one of the peaks.

Venice was beautiful in its an-
tiquity and waterways. What amus-
ed me most were the modern stop-
lights hanging over the canals. An-
other interesting fact is that the fire
department consists of three motor
boats and a row boat.

Nice, France, which is along the
coast of the Mediterranean is an ex-
ceptionally pretty city. One thing
we could not understand was the
stares at our bathing suits we received
from the people on the Riviera. I had
never before felt so modest on the
beach.

The last place we stopped was
Paris. As we drove down the
Champs Elysees, I felt as if I were
riding down the highway to en-
chantment. Night Clubs and Paris
customs were very entertaining.
However, I was glad to get back to
the United States, bringing with me
memories which I never shall lose
and hoping that someday I may go
back and bring these memories to
life once again.

FASHION PAINTS ITS
OWN PICTURE

I can't wait! I simply can't wait
until the new fall clothes come out
of their trunks and closets. From
all indications Gulf Park will have
a bright, big, and smooth year. Of
course I'm speaking from a fashion
view-point and mean bright in color,
big in flounces and drapes, and as
smooth as satin and velvet.

Let me paint a modern picture of
the newest fall fashions for you. On
my palet I'll squeeze from tubes
many different red paints to begin
with. I'll start with the orange and
go into rust. Then, of course, bright
red and on into dark red and ma-
roon. After I have a few dabs of the
basic reds I can branch into the

beautiful corals, champagne pink,
and wines. Next I'll add some of
every bright color and, to be most
fitting and exciting, a dash of glisten-
ing gold and silver.

Into my work of art I'll paint
many tight, curved lines flattered
with drapes and flounces. The tex-
ture will be mostly satin and velvet
with the exception of a few heavy
tweed effects. Against these materials
I'll paint a rose, a scarf, or various
accessories in an outstanding con-
trast.

Soon our modern painting will
come to life and appear on campus
in many different fashions. For
morning and afternoon classes we'll
see the usual sweaters and shirts but
with a new touch this year. That
touch is done with bright contrast-
ing colors usually seen in belts,
scarves, and shoes.

In the afternoon we'll find loung-
ing in the smokers bright plaid wool
slacks coupled with wool jersey
blouses and separated by wide leath-
er belts. We'll see also solid colored
slacks or pedal pushers beneath large
plaid smoking jackets trimmed with
velvet collars.

For dinner and early dates the
campus will be covered with color-
ful satin and velvet suits with off
shades of red, green, and blue shoes
and purses. We'll see also the solid
and large plaid wool dresses with
velvet collars, buttons, belts, and
pocket flaps.

We'll dance to the exciting music
of an orchestra in equally exciting
evening dresses. There will be more
ballerina length dresses this year
than before. Still the velvets, satins,
and nylon nets are voted most popu-
lar. Even a few bright plaid taffetas
with wide patent leather belts will
draw a spot light. The golds and
silvers will be found in tight, slinky,
and extremely bare formats. Again
the flashing shoes will make an en-
trance and dance their way into pop-
ularity.

Yes, I can hardly wait for these
exciting fall fashions and colors to
make their appearance for fashion
has finally reached its peak of excite-
ment and individuality.

NEW LOOK IN DECORATIONS

The Reception Room has a new
look. Its design is Modern in color
and texture. Window draperies have
a huge hybiscus design, red pre-
dominating with green and slight
touches of yellow in the accent
tones.

The furniture is upholstered in
rough Modern texture of solid col-
lors — gold, green, and red. The de-
tails such as lamps, vases, and bric-
a-brac are all harmonious with the
hybiscus colors.

The New look is interesting and
beautiful.

Off the Reception Room, to the
right, is a drawing room in Period
Decoration. The flowered wall pa-
per, mahogany secretary, marble
topped chest and table, rose satin
covered wing chairs, and rose win-

dow draperies all present a quiet and
restful picture in elegant i88o's de-
sign.

The Powder Room opens off the
drawing room. It is in dainty blue
and rose of contemporary design.

The Dining Hall also has a New
look with outdoor design and color
in the draperies of white with green
and red bamboo leaves and natural
color stalks in natural size. Small
bronze flower pots of growing plants
hang from bronze chains between
the windows. A large mirror stret-
ches, all the way across, over the
sideboard, and a Spanish plaque
hangs over the cabinet. This New
look takes the Dining Hall, which
is amost ground level, outdoors and
brings the outdoors inside at the
same time.

For this NEW LOOK IN DECO-
RATIONS, honors go to Mrs. Ho-
garth who worked out the plan of
redecoration, purchased the neces-
sary materials, and supervised the
redecoration.

Over the week-end of October 7,
with Miss Meeker as guide and
chaperon, eight of us old girls — Isa-
belle Charnock, Gretchen Bosch,
Cynthia Graser, Rusty Cramer, Han-
nah Snellgrove, Patty Hillhouse,
Jane Anderson, and Ann Yates —
rode our trusty steeds out to Huckle-
berry Hill. We began our crusade
at three o'clock that lovely Saturday
afternoon with high hopes of hav-
ing a wonderful time.

Yes, it was wonderful ! Jt was won-
derful to try to control a shying
horse, to dangle our feet out of the
stirrups to keep from becoming ab-
solutely numb, to fight away mos-
quito squadrons, to laugh at the silly
little blisters that the reins rubbed
on our fingers, to kick and plead
with our walking horses while the
rest of the party cantered gaily a
mile or two ahead, to wave a friend-
ly hand at honking speed demons
while we endeavored to ride along
the highway, to reply to Miss Meek-
er, "Of course, we're having fun,
isn't everyone?" Yes, it was won-
derful!

At around five-thirty the cabin on
Huckleberry Hill rose before us like
a make-believe haven of rest. We
dismounted, happy to be at our des-
tination. The aroma of baking bis-
cuits and strong coffee arose. Our
appetites ran wild as we seated our-
selves around the dinner table, for-
getting unwashed hands and faces.
But, what's that? We forgot some-
thing else? Oh, yes, the horses!

We crawled away from the table
and went to walk, feed, and water
our horses. When they were
through eating and drinking and
were securely tied to trees, we drag-
gad ourselves again] to the cabin
where we found dinner all ready
for us. Playing bridge, singing, and
raiding the kitchen followed. Fin-
ally came sleep!

Nine o'clock on Sunday morning
found us bounding out of bed and
down to a delicious breakfast of
fried eggs and bacon. Then we took
a morning ride along the bayou.

Our plans for returning to school
were to leave as soon after dinner
as we could get our horses saddled
and bridled. This was hard to do,
since we were all so full of fried
chicken that we could hardly move.
Naturally, the previous rides had

nothing to do with this difficulty in
movement! In silent pain we sat on
our horses while they carried us
along the return road. When Gulf
Park was sighted, we all felt as if we
had crossed the Thirty-eight Paral-
lel.

As we put our horses in the stable,
Cherokee was heard saying under
his breath, "Boys, this is a load off
my , uh mind!" Though feel-
ing as if taking the opposite view-
point, we were too tired to debate
the issue. Instead we merely made
mental notes like "Unforgetable ex-
perience" and "Miss Meeker, when
do we go again?"

DORMITORY DPEN HOUSE

Open House was held Sunday,
October 8, from two until three
o'clock in Hardy Hall, Lloyd Hall,
and the Art Studio.

Dr. and Mrs. Hogarth, Mr. and
Mrs. Cooke, and members of the
faculty toured the dormitories. They
visited each room, commenting on
the various arrangements and color
schemes.

The entire afternoon was very
enjoyable, but the preceeding night
was one of complete confusion. All
of the girls were trying to get their
rooms in order. Furniture was mov-
ed and curtains were hung in an
effort to get the rooms "dressed up"
for the inspection.

STUDENTS ATTEND RALLET

A number of students and mem-
bers of the faculty of Gulf Park Col-
lege attended the Sadler's Wells Bal-
let performance at the Municipal
Auditorium in New Orleans on
Thursday, October 12. On Thursday
afternoon a large party of girls and
faculty members motored by bus to
New Orleans, where they enjoyed
dinner before going to the Audi-
torium for the ballet program. Coffee
and doughnuts at the French Mar-
ket were the after-theatre refresh-
ment.

DIRTY WORK AFOOT

j?«* ?0ee6

IT'S ALL OVER NOW

T'was the night before Rat Week
and on Senior Hall the rat masters
gathered to plan for the brawl:

They stood 'round in circles and
gloated with glee as they thought
up new tortures for all rats to be.

Lets make them do push-ups and
roll on the floor, or run round the
building and fall through the door,

And then there's our breakfast that
comes in the morn, that has to be
served to us ready and warm.

What else can you think of — come
on lets have more, Well — when
we yell "Air Raid" have them hit
the floor.

That's all good and proper but still
not enough, O. K. then we'll have
them to iron all our stuff,

,L

And count holes in screen wire and
straws in the rug, and also write
letters, both friendly and love,

And then there's their talent that
has to be shown, and also our boy-
friends who they'll have to phone.

Then next comes the banquet for
which they'll acquire some clothes
that are not quite the proper
attire,

it
And also the snake line to form
round the room, and making
them eat everything with a spoon.

That's fine, now lets hold it —

enough is enough,
You've got your ideas now go do

your stuff.

by Jo Ann Beebout

Rat Week! Ah, glorious time! Al-
though this may be the opinion held
by old sorority members, quite an-
other could be expressed by the
"rats", or new members. Just to get a
general idea of how "rats" feel to-
ward the subject, the question,
"What do you think of Rat Week?"
was asked to several sorority pledges.
Recorded here are the slanting re-
plies:

Sonny Mays says, "I only wish we
Juniors could put the Seniors through
Rat Week. I'd love to see Mimi
Frenkel counting holes in a screen."

Pat Wolff replied, (and here is
an original answer) "I wish it had
lasted longer."

No squeaks came from the rats
in room 56. However, others were
not so timid. For instance, Diane
Adair, after a moment of silent pon-
dering, commented, "I would hate
to express my feelings on the sub-
ject!"

At this point Sally Evans chimed
in with a sarcastic, "My rat master
said I loved it."

Marguerite Wessels replied, "Un-
forgettable experience !"

Now come some comments from
the less bitter side:

Betty Cobb said, "I liked Rat
Week because it was nice to meet
all the Seniors."

Sharing this viewpoint was Peggy
McGowan who stated, "I did love
being able to go down Senior Hall !"

Margie Clayton expressed her
views by saying, "It was a riot; I
wouldn't have missed it. And I really
love Air Raids on a stairway!"

Peggy Deirks and Toddy Craw-
ford expressed agreement when they
decided that it was all fun, especially
since one of them had such a kind
rat master.

And here we stopped our ques-
tioning when Dolly Doiron answer-
ed, "All was grand except the times
I was tied to a bed and beaten; that
was worse than being caught in a
trap, and not even cheese was the
consolation prize!"

T'was the night after Rat Week
and on Junior Hall the rats were
all haggered and ready to fall;

They managed to smile if you called
them by name, but somehow they
wondered just how they remained.

Their faces were long ones — their
knees were all sore, and all of
them felt that they ached to the
core.

Are you glad its over? — just what
do you think, I'd like to throw all
Seniors out in the drink,

Especially the ones that required us
to crawl from smoker to smoker
and far down the hall,

And run around the buildings and
count holes in screens, and laugh
and make merry and act just like
fiends.

They thought it was funny, but they
just don't know, and if we had
our way we'd torture them slow,

We'd make them do push-ups and
stand on their heads,

And servte us our breakfast and
make up our beds,

But now that its over it was kind
of fun,

And they didn't ask to have many
things done,

So now in our hearts there will ever
remain, the thought of dear rat
week and all of the pain.

Though the purchasing power of the dollar has
already dwindled, it is still the soundest money on
the face of the earth. From every quarter on the
globe men seek American dollars for what they
will buy in the world's markets.

It may be argued that hoarding goods speeds in-
flation, but hoarded money, kept out of circulation,
in your bank, helps check it.

The government threatens to control prices, wages
and commodities as well as credit, should inflation
go wild.

The best way to attack Enemy Number Two is
to save your money. It may shrink in purchasing
power but as long as it speaks with authority in the
market place, draws interest, buys goods and pays
taxes, your money is worth saving. Buy only what
you need, save what you can, and use the facilities
of this bank freely to prosper.

It is not difficult to identify today's Enemy Number
One. Communism, with the threat of a Third
World War, is the slippery serpent that crawls in
and out from behind the Iron Curtain.

Enemy Number Two is not so easily identified, but
inflation can be as destructive to the economy of
a people as war itself. We have seen the disastrous
results of it in France, Italy and China.

Already there are federal limitations on credit and
appeals being made by those in authority for people
to produce in abundance and spend sparingly, that
we might escape the evils of inflation.

Running rampant, inflation is as fatal to a coun-
try's economy as an army of grasshoppers is to
a field of corn. Under hyper-inflation, money loses
its purchasing power, savings lose their value and
life insurance is sapped of its security.
